  • Pine Tar and the Infield Fly Rule: an Umpire’S Perspective on the Hart-Dworkin Jurisprudential Debate
    Pine Tar and the Infield Fly Rule: An Umpire’s Perspective on the Hart-Dworkin Jurisprudential Debate William D. Blake, Ph.D.1 Assistant Professor Department of Political Science Indiana University, Indianapolis (IUPUI) [email protected] Abstract: What is law? Though on its face this question seems simple, it remains an incredibly controversial one to legal theorists. One prominent jurisprudential debate of late occurred between H.L.A. Hart, a positivist, and Ronald Dworkin, an interpretivist. While positivism, at its core, holds the law is a set of authoritative commands, Dworkin rejects this reflexive approach and instructs judges to incorporate and advance communal norms and morals in their decisions. In baseball, umpires utilize both legal theories, depending on the type of rule they are asked to interpret or enforce. I conclude that, like umpires, most citizens are not dogmatic about either legal theory. 1 I wish to thank Justice George Nicholson of the California Court of Appeal for encouraging my participation at this Symposium. I am eternally grateful to former Major Leaguer Jim Abbott for taking the time to respond to my questions. Finally, to the 13 year-old pitcher whom I discuss in this paper: your courage and enthusiasm are inspiring, but, for Pete's sake, please practice coming set. Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2403586 Bill Klem, one of the 2 first umpires inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, once wrongly called a runner out at home plate. A lucky newspaper photographer snapped a shot, which demonstrated Klem’s mistake. The next day, reporters demanded to know how the batter could be out in light of the incontrovertible photographic evidence.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, May 7, 2010 Low Coliseum Turnout No
    A’s News Clips, Friday, May 7, 2010 Low Coliseum turnout no surprise to new A's By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune, 5/7/2010 Playing in front of empty seats at the Oakland Coliseum is as commonplace for A's players as taking batting practice. The team's attendance woes have drawn increased attention recently, particularly after the A's drew just 8,874 to Monday's game against the Texas Rangers, their smallest announced crowd since 2003. For those who have been with the team a while, the sparse turnouts are a fact of life. But the A's imported several new players this season, some of whom came from the National League and didn't have much exposure to the Coliseum before this year. What's been their reaction? "It didn't really catch me off-guard," said third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff, who spent the past three seasons with the Padres. "Some of the guys said in spring training that we didn't draw too well. I didn't expect too many fans. In San Diego, we didn't draw too well. I just looked up (in the stands earlier this season) and said, 'Well, that's the way it is.' " But Kouzmanoff has formed another impression as well. "The fans we do draw are die-hard, hard-core fans," he said. "They're beating their drums, waving their flags." The A's home attendance has decreased each of the last six seasons. So it isn't much of a surprise that they've averaged just 16,552 fans through 17 home games this year, even as they lead the American League West.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Aug. 24, 2018 Desmond's walk-off HR puts Rox in tie for WC Rockies half-game out of top spot, 1 back in West; Freeland sets stage Owen Perkins | MLB.com | Aug. 23, 2018 DENVER -- The Rockies added Matt Holliday's big bat to their lineup for Thursday's rubber match with the Padres, but it was the hot hand of Ian Desmond who broke through Colorado's slumbering lumber to win the game with a two-run walk- off homer, stealing a 4-3 win to take the series and secure a tie for second in the National League Wild Card race. The Rockies were held to five hits through the first seven innings, but they tapped into their "LoDo" magic to walk off for the third time in their last five home games -- and record their fifth win in the last two weeks in games where they'd been trailing after eight innings. They picked up a half-game on the D-backs, who didn't play Thursday, to sit a game behind the NL West leaders. Tied with the idle Brewers for the second Wild Card spot -- though with an edge of .001 percentage point -- they are a half-game behind the Cardinals for the top Wild Card spot. "That's kind of been our M.O. for the past seven or eight games, coming from behind late and winning games," starting pitcher Kyle Freeland said. "It's not the easiest way to do it, and it's definitely high pressure, but at the end of the day it's a 'W' on the board." The Rockies were down, 3-2, with two outs in the ninth, and Trevor Story on second.

  • Umpire Stories
    So, You Want to Be an Umpire? David Vincent Modern umpires like to be invisible on the field and consider it a good day when no one remembers them after a game. There have been days, though, that are memorable ones. Here are some of those days. *** In 1882, National League Umpire Dick Higham, a former player, was expelled from the game for colluding with gamblers. He had been the first umpire to wear a mask on the field. Higham umpired his last game on June 22, 1882 in Buffalo. *** On June 19, 1896, the Chicago Colts (now Cubs) were in Cleveland to play the Spiders. The latter team was well known around the league for acting in a rowdy manner. In the seventh inning, Umpire Tom Lynch fined and ejected Cleveland Captain Patsy Tebeau, who refused to leave. Tebeau instead rushed at Lynch to assault the umpire but the two were separated by other players. Lynch refused to work the rest of that game and left the field. After a long delay, the game resumed with Chicago player Con Daily calling the pitches and Cleveland player Cy Young making the calls on the bases. Tebeau remained in the game and Chicago’s Cap Anson protested the game because Tebeau remained in the contest even though he had been ejected. Chicago won the game, 8-3, so the protest was not lodged. After the game, Lynch told a reporter: “I suppose I should not have permitted my indignation to get the better of me, but after all there are things that pass human endurance, and one of them surely is to be called vile names.” Lynch refused to work in Cleveland after that and did not until 1898.
